Beschreibung
Beach Read meets The Flatshare in this warmly funny and delightfully sharp debut rom-com about a down-on-her-luck young woman who turns an innocent mix-up between a dating app and a roommate app into a new chance at love.

She wasn't looking for love until it landed on her doorstep.

After getting passed over for an overdue-and much-needed-promotion, Sadie Green is in desperate need of three things: a stiff drink, a new place to live, and a one-night stand. When one drink turns into one too many, Sadie mixes up a long-ignored dating app for a roommate-finding app and finds herself on the doorstep of Jack Thomas's gorgeous Brooklyn brownstone. Too bad she's more attracted to his impressive real estate than she is to the man himself.

Jack, still grieving the unexpected death of his parents, has learned to find comfort in video games and movie marathons instead of friends. So while he doesn't know just what to make of the vivaciously verbose Sadie, he's willing to offer her his spare bedroom while she gets back on her feet. And with the rent unbeatably low, Sadie can finally pursue her floristry side hustle full-time. The two are polar opposites, but as Sadie's presence begins to turn the brownstone into a home, they both start to realize they may have just made the deal of a lifetime.

Zusammenfassung
POPULAR SUBJECT MATTER: The Park Slope brownstone setting is catnip for any reader interested in real estate, and the affordable rent and startup business subplots appeal directly to Millennial readers. The floral-arrangement story line in particular will offer great opportunities for packaging and promotion, especially on social media.

DEBUT AUTHOR WITH STRONG CONNECTIONS: With a smart, effervescent voice, Falon Ballard is an exciting new talent in the rom-com space. She was a participant in the 2019 PitchWars program, and her mentors include Suzanne Park and Berkley's Alexa Martin.

CHARACTERS TO FALL IN LOVE WITH: Sadie and Jack share palpable sexual tension, heightened by the shared-space setting. Both are looking for fresh starts, and with supportive (and hilarious) friendships in the mix, their love story hits that sweet spot of elevated romance and women's fiction that booksellers and readers are clamoring for.

MORE BOOKS TO COME: Putnam scooped up two books by Ballard in a preempt, snagging World rights as well, with interest buzzing in the UK.

PERFECT TRADE PAPERBACK ORIGINAL FOR PUTNAM: On trend with recent comps like The Summer Job, Beach Read, and The Cactus, Lease on Love is a delicious, romantic read full of heart and takes on heavier topics of grief and loss with a light, but meaningful, touch. It will be a great addition to Putnam's growing TPO program.
